Graduation Gift 30.1

****Nicole's POV****

As soon as I went out from my class, my phone vibrated. I felt the tingling sensation in my thighs. I grab my phone and looked at the screen.

My face instantly lit up when I read the name of the sender.

'Nik-Nik, study hard. Araso? Saranghaeyo~ ❤ Fighting!'

By now, you should've guess who's it from. I quickly replied an Arasso and Nado Saranghaeyo to Xiumin before heading to me next class.

As I arrive at the classroom, I heard a group of girls chatting. I sat a nearby desk and arranged my stuff. I don't care about what they're gossiping about. Probably about hot guys and how to have firm nail beds but when I heard Rachel's name, my ear instantly became alert.

" Did you know, Dylan made her cry ? " one of them, who I assume, Sarah is her name said.

" Omg! Really ? " another one reacted.

Wait.. Dylan made Rachel cry? The cold, good-looking guy? As far as I remember, he's Rachel's seatmate but they don't talk at each other at all. I wonder what's going on between them.

" Psh. Maybe she's one of Dylan's admirers, and Dylan's being himself and turned her confession down " another one said and they all laughed, agreeing with her.

That would be absurd. Sehun and Rachel just broke up. And I know her too well that she isn't that easy to move on.

" She's so ambitious. As if Dylan's going to like her! " and they laughed again.

I clench my fist in anger. No one talks about my bestfriend like that. I calmed myself and thought that they're not even worth it if I gave them an earful.

Suddenly, my phone vibrates again. I reached for it and read the text message from Xiumin.

'That's my girl. Hope to see you soon, my love ❤'

I smiled as I read. He's really sweet and thoughtful. Though we may be miles apart, we did our best to make our relationship work. He sends me sweet messages, or sometimes call me when he's not busy. I keep in touch with him too, having skype and snapchats. But I still miss him.

The feeling's really different when you keep in touch with your loved one and when you're with them. And I want to be with him 24/7. I know I'm exaggerating but hey, who doesn't want to be with your love the whole day?

'I miss you, my Baozi'

" Thank you Lin! " I politely said as Lin placed our orders on our table. We're regular costumers here so we're kinda close with the staff and owner.

" Always welcome, dear " she said as she left to serve other costumers.

" Lin's really nice. I wonder why she's still single " Krissy said as she took a spoonful of her Halo-Halo.

( A/N: Halo-Halo is a kind of dessert famous in the Philippines that consists of ice cream, corn flakes, shaved ice, and beans that I don't know what's the name. It's really delicious!)

We come at this Ice Cream Parlor every Wednesdays and Fridays to hangout and surpass the time. Me and the girls are super busy these past few months since 3rd semester is approaching.

" Maybe she hasn't found her destiny, yet " I said with a shrug as I ate my bowl of Halo-Halo. Yum! This never gets old.
" Psh. Destinys aren't real. And so is Forever, it doesn't exist " Rachel said with a hint of annoyance in her voice as she ate her share of Banana Split.

Me and Krissy just laughed and chorused...

" Bitter! " we cooed and then high-fived. She's really upset about their breakup and I don't blame her.

" Tsk. Just because you broke up with Sehun doesn't mean Forver doesn't exist. Everybody deserves a Happy Ending and so do you " I said. It's true. Everybody has someone to love them and maybe, Xiumin is that someone for me. Hopefully.

" Well, look around you. There's no Happy Endings here! This is the reality and you guys need to wake up! I used to believe I had that Happy Ending but I woke up! " she hissed and stood up.

" Wait.. Where are you going? " Krissy asked before I could. She gathered her things and picked up her shoulder bag and books.

" I'm going home " was all she said and left. I just sighed. As much as we love her, there are times that we sometimes can't help but get pissed at her. But I know, it's not her fault that she's acting that way. She neess time and space and we're giving her that.

" I guess, we should let her be " Krissy said and continued eating. I just nodded and ate as well.

" Oh, did you know the news about Dylan making her cry? " she asked. I guess news really spread that fast.

" Yeah, I've heard. Is there something going on between them? " I asked, curiousity clear in my voice.

" I don't know either. But I think Dylan likes her " she said and cracked a laugh and I laughed along with her.

Dylan's a really cold guy so it's impossible for him to like Rachel. Or maybe not.
